It was sunset time in Bummer, and the gentle animals of the zoo in one of the great cities of the world were in yards, and folds outside the buildings. When I reached the inclosure belonging to mother elapifflnt, there was a large number of men, women and children standing along the fence. They were very quiet, as if they were afraid of dis turbing some one. As I stopped by the fence and looked in the yard a small girl touched my skirt, pursed up her mouth and giving me a solemn look of warning pointed to the elephants. Mamma elephant had her trunk around her baby’s neek and seemed to be whispering and encouraging him as he rubbed his head against her knee. He stood a moment, .then raised his head, flapped his big little ears, gave a flirt of his little oord of a tail and trot ted off by his mother’s side to the cen ter of the yard. There she left him and went to a pile of hay that stood in a corner. This she took up, bunch by bunch, with her trunk, so nicely that she did not drop a wisp of it, and spread it around her child, who had not stirred from the spot where she left him. When the hay had been all spread around the baby, the mother stepped into the center and began to tread it down with her feet, the little one fol lowing her motions exactly till a per fectly even space had been trodden down; then mamma elephant stepped ou.t again, went to the farther side of the yard and fumbled about the ground with her trunk. As she camo back her baby flourished his small trunk and flapped his ears, making at the same time a soft grunting sound, as if he knew what was coming and liked it. This time mamma stood outside the baby’s bed and beginning with the back of his ears blew a small cloud of fine dust into the folds of skin behind them, then into those around his legs and under him till ho was thoroughly powdered for the night. This done, she again put her trunk about his body; the little fellow dropped to his knees on his carefully trodden bed, and after a few soft pats and a few soft grunts from his mother he lay as a well trained child of the elephant family should. The mother’s work, however, was not yet done. She took up delicately the hay from the edge of the bed, and be gan tossing it lightly along his sides and up toward his back, till its ridges no longer showed. When all was done, the small girl Who had warned me not to disturb the proceedings heaved a great sigh, and, turning to me, said, “I would just like to know what they do it for I” So I told her, explaining the habit wild aniihals have of treading their beds, to make sure there are no snakes in the grass; the necessity of dust powdering the young, whose skin is tender in the folds, and who are troubled by insects; the pil ing up of the dry grass around them, to conceal them from the possible hunter. —Northern Christian Advocate. Spaniah Name* on Pullman Car*. “The public is dead sore on Spanish names,’’ said a Pullman conductor as he turned away from looking over the register. “You may not believe it, but I have found a strong preju dice against the Spanish names on the Pullman cars, and the company is ar ranging to change many of them. The fire of patriotism is too hot just at pres ent to put up with anything that even suggests a don. The company may kick on it, but one of the superintendents told me recently that several of the cars had already been sent to the shops to have the names changed. Some of the most poetical names in use must go, be cause they suggest the queen regent, lit tle Alfcuso or some city in Spain. For example, such cars as the Cadiz, Blanco, Castile, Seville, Mercedes, Lu sitania and Andalusia are being square ly boycotted. And this is no joke. “In Pittsburg the other day a passen ger took a day coach rather than pay for a seat in the car named Castile. Up on the Erie road the handsome car Blanco was pelted with stones and mud while it was standing outside one of the best stations on the system. The people simply won’t have these Spanish names. I just heard how the Mercedes had been turned down on the Panhandle line a week ago, and how the porter had rid den 200 miles without a soul in his car. Os course he kicked. Who wouldn’t? The porters are disconsolate, and say there is no use talking, the fine Spanish names won’t go these days, and when a porter gets leary of his car you might as well take it off.’’—New Orleans Times-Democrat Naming Na**au Hall. How many of the undergraduates and alumni of the College of New Jersey, asks Mr. Mellick in “The Story of an Old Farm, ” are aware that their being able, to sing of the glories of “Old Nas sau’’ on campus and at annual banquet is due to the humility of a colonial gov ernor? He then tells the origin of the name Nassau hall. In 1756, one year before the death of Governor Jonathan Belcher, that digni tary presented his library to Princeton college. In gratitude for the gift the trustees requested that they might be allowed to give his name to the now venerable building, then being erected, which for so many years has housed the faculty and students qf this ancient? seat of learning. His excellency declined ths proffered distinction. The governor requested that it should be named to “express the honor we re tain,” to quote his words, “in this re mote part of the globe, to the immortal memory of the glorious King William 111, who was a branch of the illustrious house of Nassau and who, under pod, was the great deliverer of the British nation from those two monstrous furies, popery and slavery. ” And so it was that the trustees decid ed that the new collegiate building “in all time to come” should be called Nassau halt AT A NEGRO REVIVAL. Unlettered Men Who Wloely Expound the ' Truth. We were a party of rix, all Sunday school teachers, all supposed Scriptural expert*. One of our number was a re tired American Missionary aaaooiatjon worker and another on* had been prepar ing for the foreign mi trio n field when bar health failed bar. The five of na aooepted the invitation of the sixth/our hoateaa, to Sttend a colored revival meeting naar by. We were the only white people In She crowded church. All about ua ware djftky faces; all around ua the mallow negro voice* rang out in characteristic) negro re vival songs. The words were trivial, the choruses but disjointed bite of aentenoee, but the melody was intoxicating to the senses. Though untuned, what voices; untrained, without rule, yet with a strange rhythm and passionate fire that stirred one’s pulsea a* ne.er operatic aria could 1 Our dark skinned brethren were of the Christian religion; therefore they were nearer to ua than heathen. Nevertheless between us and them rolled a great gulf. They were illiterate, emotional babes in the gospel. They had never heard of toe higher criticism and never studied Barnes or Adam Clarke and were not afraid <u De Wette or Renan. So we sat there with the patronising air that human beings are apt to assume when thrown in contact with mortals lesa wise than themselves. Brother Jonah Watkins, a white wooled, bent basked man of 70, was called upon to pray. He responded, In nowise over awed by our superior presence. He prayed as though hla lipa had Indeed been touched by a live coal from God’s own altar. “O Lord," he prayed, “thou knoweat dis people. Here we are befo’ de, down on our marrer bones in de lowlar.dsof sorrow. Raise us up, deah Lord, an stan ua up upon our feet upon de mountain tops of glory. An de sinnahs of dis congregation, deah Lord, smite ’em wld de hammah of Jeremiah”— I heard no more. “The hammah of Jeremiah"—What was It? I had read the prophet Jeremiah through and through, with the commentaries and Bible diction aries open at every page, but never a syl lable had I caught about Jeremiah’s ham mer. What did this bent backed colored man know about Jeremiah that the wise teachers of the law had overlooked? The question was broached on the homeward walk. Our party had all been struck with the expression, but not one of us six Sun day school teachers had the remotest idea of what Jeremiah’s hammer might be. The next day six men and women read their Bibles, and each of the six began at the first verse of the first chapter of Jere miah. One by one aa we reached the twenty-ninth verse of the twenty-third chapter we found what wo were after. “Is not my word like a fire? saith the Lord, and like a hammer that breaketh the rook in pieces?” Jeremiah’s hammer was God’s word, that was able to break down the flinty resistance of the indifferent soul. Could Scripture reference have been more applicable? And the wonder of all was that this low born son of toil, spelling hia text out word by word, should have found the kernel of the meat, while othess, with every help at hand, passed over Ik—ln dependent. Nitrogen Trap*. We can draw upon the stock of nitrogen In the atmosphere by means of sunlight acting upon and vitalizing leguminous crops, such as olover, vetches and peas. All of these can be grown as “ between crops," so as not to interfere, with the reg- I ular crops. Clovers oan be sown in the stubble of small grain or even with the grain seed. Vetches and peas can be sown in standing corn at the last oultivatioh. The selection of a crop to be used as a nitrogen trap depends largely upon the locality, soil and system of rotation. For states south of the Ohio and Potomac riv en, the cowpea, crimson olover and sand vetch are the three most satisfactory. For more northern states, red clover, Canada pea and winter vetch promise most. In general any legnmo known to thrive upon the soil will be satisfactory as a ni trogen trap. When such a legume la once found and adopted, it should be continued year after year, as these crops never give the best results until they have been grown upon tho same field for several sea sons—the longer the better. Rye, turnips and other nonleguminoua crops which are sometimes turned under are of no value as nitrogen gatherers. All the legumes " named, except sand vetch, make valuable fodder, and their use as fodder does not detract from their value as fertilizers, ft fed upon the farm and the resulting ma nure returned to the land. For soils too sandy to produce good olover or winter vetch blue and white lupines and sand vetch are recommended for all but the coldest parts of the United States. The latter three are worthloss as fodder.—Cor. Country Gentleman. Feeding Pet Doge. In small families there is often a good deal of complaint that there are no scrape left over from the meals to feed the dog. To purchase regularly the biscuits that come ready prepared becomes after awhile a financial tax that maybe eeverefyfrft by those who have but little means and must make that little go a great way. With a bit of good judgmeUtnnd ease one may provide for this Important branch of the family at small expense. After ins soup is served there is almost always a re siduum at the bottom of the pot. Put this iu a kettle and keep It in a cool place until a considerable quantity of scraps and left over soup accumulates. Pour Into this any surplus milk, sweet or sour, that may be on hand and place the kettle on the stove to boil, stirring it frequently, that ft may not burn. Then stir in until ft la ha thick as ft oan be handled some ground feed, such as is prepared for farm animals and sold at feed stores. This feed has a quantity of coarse oats In ft and should be sifted through an ordinary flour sifter before it is stirred into the soup. Remove the kettle from the fire and when partly cool add one teaspoonful of soda and two teaspoonfuls of baking powder for every four quarts of the batter. It may then be rolled out into blsculte or dropped from a spoon upon greased pans. Bake the cakes until quite brown in » very hot oven.

GENIUS OF THE ROADSIDE. ■®w a Statesman’* Bariln Protege Was Helped oa Way to Fame. “The off horse has lost a shoe from the right fore foot, said the ooachman, m he drew up oppoeite a wayside Black smith shop. “SHall X stop and have ft replaced?” “Byall means, ” replied the owner of tho curricle, Senator Ahron Burr of Hew York, “it is always the proper thing to keep your horses well shod, and, besides, I am only too glad of a chance to stretch njy legs after so long a drive. While tho smith is busy I will ■troll to the top of one of these beauti ful Ulster county bills.’’ When he returned half an hour later, he happened to glance at the side of a barn near the shop ar I saw with sur prise an accurate though hurriedly drawn charcoal picture of hia curricle and bones. * “Who drew that?” ho Inquired. “That little frenzy head yonder,” replied the blacksmith, pointing to a boy in homespun who waa chopping wood in the dooryard oppoeite aa if his whole mind was occupied with his task. “Halloo, my lad," called Burr, and when the little fellow looked up with the air of one who haa been caught in some misdemeanor he added pleasantly, “If ever you want to change your occu pation and see life, just put a clean shirt in your bundle and go to this ad drees in New York,” and he crossed the road to hand the boy a slip es paper. The team was soon on its homeward way, and in a short time the incident passed from the crowded mind of Aaron Bun. Months afterward, as he sat at breakfast, a servant brought him a pack age containing a homemade clean shirt and said that a boy at the door had asked her to deliver it as an all suffi cient introduction. But the senator could not understand its significance, so he sent for the boy, whom he at once recognized as the youthful genius of the roadside. . With all his faults, Bun waa a gen erous man at heart, and he spared neither pains nor expense to give the youth the best of instruction in his chosen profession. From an artistic point of view the student became very successful as the great painter Vander lyn, although he lived a life of poverty. He painted the portraits of Aaron Bun and his daughter, Theodosia, from which were taken the fine engravings by which we know them. He died near the spot where he drew the picture of the waiting team. His career is a noble monument to tho better side of the na ture of his benefactor, a nature not wholly devoid of Sweetness and light, although darkened by frequent clouds through his mature life and finally eclipsed in the murky gloom of a purely selfish ambition.-—Atlanta Constitution. GOLFING PHILOLOGY. Derivation of Curious Tonus Which Bo long tho Game. To the enthusiastic golfer the game Is never out of season. Fitted with “arc tic” goloshes and a warm knitted waistcoat, he is seen upon the links on many a day which appears inclement to the uninitiated. Perhaps this disregard of snow and ice is* natural when one comes to look up the derivation of golf ing terms. Many of the words come di rectly from the Icelandic languages, others have synonyms in Gaelic or Swedish. The tee, er little nodule of gravel or earth from-which the golfer strikes off his ball, at the beginning of each link, is derived from “tia, ” an Icelandic verb signifying “to point out.” Again, “golf” itself evidently comes from the Scandinavian “kolf, ” a club, the Gaelic form being “oolb” and the Icelandic form being “kolfr” (a clapper of a bellor bulb). The “links” come straight from the Swedish “lynka," moaning a “twist” or “crook;” hence its application to the windings of the epast, the sandy, barren ground called “links” in Scotland. To “put” (pronounced “putt”) comes from the Gaelic “put,” signifying to push or throw, as when the useful “put ter” propels the golf ball from the “putting green” into the holo. . The “lofter” is derived from the Ice landic “loft"—that la, shy or air—a Danish form being “loft" for ceiling or loft.—Philadelphia Inquirer. On* Veteran Without a Pension. I sat on a hill with a sergeant who knew history and horses. He remem bered Pansy, which had served 16 yean in the troop and a first rate old hone then, but a d——d inspector with no soul came browsing around one day and condemned that old horse. Government got a measly >10 —or something like that This ran along for a time, when ope day they were trooping up some lonely valley, and, behold, there stood Pansy, as thin aa a snake, tied by a wickieup. He greeted the troop with joyful neighs. The soldiers asked the captain to be allowed to shoot hjm, but of course he said na I could not learn if he winked when he said It Tho col umn wound over the hill, a carbine rang from its rear, and Pansy ley do#n in the dust without a kick. Death Is better than Indian for a horse. The thing was not noticed at the time, but made a world of fuss aftdtward, though how it all came out the sergeant did not develop, nor was it necessary.— Frqderic Remington in Harper's Ipa zine. .
